Plan the biscuit slot at a point at least 2-1/2" from the outer edge of the board. Allow at least 1" between
slots in multiple plate applications for best results. Mark all slots on both boards at the same time to assure
proper alignment.

If possible, lay the workpieces as they will be
joined together and mark a center line across

Otherwise, mark the center line of each cut
individually.
